Recent rains and snows of flooded the watershed. The springs are running high so the Buffalo is running high.The forest floor duff has absorbed the water and spreads a clear scent in the air that makes we want to just settle down here and forget about life anywhere else. Throw in the pine scent and I just had to stay a while longer in the parking lot and sketch the Center.
A light windless rain was falling, too, and some would spill in the open doors and windows of the car. I sat in the middle so the sketchbook didn't get wet. If I had rain gear it would have made great hiking weather. I waited until I got home to add the color and text. Didn't have THAT much time. Wish I could have bottled up the clean air.

John, SO glad you got some sketchtime, this is lovely. So's your description, I can just smell it...
I grew up in southern Missouri enjoying the hills and rivers. Your sketch and journaling are so wonderful, they make me homesick, LOL!
Thanks, RaSonya. I wondered if anyone would respond that they had roots in the area.
With your fine writing and sketch you know for sure when you are 80 and you look at this page you will remember that day like it was yesterday.
Excellent sketch! Love your comments!
